Brandon Graham, finally a starter as he embarks upon his sixth year with the Eagles, was asked yesterday about his goal for sacks this season. At first, Graham didn’t want to say, noting only that “WE are going to have a lot of sacks.” Then he said fans could expect double-digits, but he didn’t want to specify. Eventually, under further prodding, he revealed his number.
“My goal is just two a game. That’s it,” Graham said. Given that there are 16 games, that would be 32 total, 9.5 sacks above the alltime NFL record, set by Michael Strahan.
